Talk:Azteca muelleri

Eponym
According to this source, this species was named after Fritz Müller, a German biologist who emigrated to southern Brazil to study its natural history. Müller was able to show that the small bodies at the petiole-bases of Cecropia are food bodies and are used by protecting ants of the genus Azteca which inhabit the hollow stems of these fast growing trees.
